The exhibit features bibliographical rarities on legal topics and the results of the library staff’s work with them. The team studies the origin of publications, finds out what happened to their owners and their private collections, establishes relationships between books, collections and people, and checks each copy for Ex Libris, dedicatory inscriptions, and marginalia. The findings of this work are published in the professional literature, as well as in SPBU’s own popular science journal. A special story is dedicated to the treasures found in the legal book collection: Justinian’s Institutes (1540), A Paraphrase of Theophilus (1751), the Code of Canon Law of Pope Gregory XIII (1650), and works on German law, including Criminal Treatise (1629) and Method of Jurisprudence (1756).

Celebrating the 120th Anniversary of the Birth of Professor Mikhail Shargorodsky (7, 22 Liniya, Vasilyevsky Island, 2nd floor, St. Petersburg)
The name of Mikhail Shargorodsky (1904–1973) is known far beyond the field of criminal law. A veteran of the Great Patriotic War, Doctor of Law, Professor, and Head of Department at Leningrad University, Professor Shargorodsky made a significant contribution to the development both of criminology and the general theory of law. The exhibit features books and articles that trace his journey as a scholar, as well as items from his personal collection stored at the University. Professor Shargorodsky was also a bibliophile: his home library was full of both scientific publications of the 19th century and the best works of fiction, such as those published by the Academia publishing house. The library was donated to the University and is now kept in the legal section of the Gorky Scientific Library.
